Is the income from my new job accepted?
Is the income from my new job accepted?
The company I am working for is moving to another state. Unfortunately, I could not move with the company due to a family obligation. I had to quit my full-time job as a sales rep and I am on probation on a new job. I was already thinking of buying a home and I have money saved up. Will the lender accept income from my new job when applying for a loan?

- Check your employment contract to make sure your employment is subject to probation.
- Understand the length of your probation, usually, it is between 3 months, 6 months or even 12 months.
Most lenders are favourable towards applicants if:
- The new job is in the same industry
- Stable employment history
- Continuous employment in the same industry.

Great, thanks for the info. Borrowing 95%? Is there any catch to this?

Hi Ben,
Besides earning a regular income and having stable employment, you will also need a deposit of at least 10% of the property value.
If this is your first home, the deposit amount can even include the first home owners grant (FHOG).
The major catch here is that you will need to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) if you plan to borrow over 95% of the property value.
Please use the LMI calculator to get an estimation on how much you'll need to pay.

I just used the LMI calculator, and there are many lenders that are offering good premium amounts and also capitalise LMI. What does capitalise LMI mean?

Hi Ben,
LMI capitalisation is the process by which the LMI premium is added on top of your loan. This is also known as “capping the LMI premium” or having capped LMI.
By capping your LMI premium, you will need a smaller deposit since you are not paying the LMI premium upfront, from the money that you have saved!
